The Annus mirabilis papers (from Latin annus mīrābilis, "extraordinary year") are the papers of Albert Einstein published in the Annalen der Physik scientific journal in 1905. These four articles contributed substantially to the foundation of modern physics and changed views on space, time, mass, and energy. The annus mirabilis is often called the "miracle year" in English or Wunderjahr in German.
Annalen der Physik (English: Annals of Physics) is one of the oldest scientific journals on physics and has been published since 1799. The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed papers in the areas of experimental, theoretical, applied, and mathematical physics and related areas.

His problem was also his strength: he rejected appeals to authority, thus rubbing his teachers the wrong way and making his life difficult within the academic realm, while also clearing the way for his brilliance to emerge.
He did not have a network of friends like the apple-polishers had, professors refused to recommend him for teaching positions, and he took the only job he could get at the time.
